Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats Bring Doom to Charlotte

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, the English psychedelic rock and doom metal band formed in Cambridge by Kevin Starrs in 2009, bring their vintage sound to Charlotte. Known for their heavy use of vintage instruments and recording equipment to replicate the late 1960s heavy metal era, the band has released six studio albums, including the acclaimed *Blood Lust* and *Mind Control*. Their music has been described as a mixture of psychedelic rock's harrowing comedown and the earliest manifestations of heavy metal's occult-laced bludgeon.

Attendees can expect a night of fuzz-laden riffs and dark, atmospheric rock, with support from Messa. The band's live shows are known for their intense, retro aesthetic, drawing from influences like Black Sabbath and the Stooges. This North American tour date follows their appearance at Hellfest in Clisson, France in June 2026.

With a history of international touring and festival appearances, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of vintage sound and modern heaviness. The band's 2011 album *Blood Lust* garnered substantial acclaim, with The Quietus describing it as "a glorious and idiosyncratic collection that quickly garnered rabid cult status amongst the worldwide doom fraternity."
